Let's pray, Lord, 38 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: we thank you for your word, and we thank you 39 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: for the privilege to look at it today. And Lord, 40 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: as we look at this portion of scripture, we see 41 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: that in a family tree, there are those who love 42 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: you and serve you and honor you, and there are 43 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: those who reject you. At least in these cases. We know, 44 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: Lord that many of these names that are listed are 45 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: men who later became kings, and they descended from David. 46 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: But many of them did not walk in the same 47 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: ways that David did. We know Lord that David loved you, 48 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: he trusted you. You refer to him as a man 49 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: after your own heart, and he serves as a picture 50 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: of the Messiah. And it's through his line that the 51 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: Messiah Jesus Christ came. Lord, we're grateful for the salvation 52 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: and new life we have through your son, Jesus Christ. 53 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: And we pray Lord that by your grace that we 54 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: would be people who honor you, and that the children 55 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: that you bless us with would also honor you as well, 56 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: that the example that we set for them of what 57 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: it means to walk by faith in Jesus Christ would 58 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: be something that they choose to value and live out. 59 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: But we know Lord that that can ultimately only happen 60 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: if they're enabled to do so by your power, and 61 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: if you create the desire and their hearts and their 62 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: minds to follow you. And so Lord, we commit our 63 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: children to you. We pray that, by your grace that 64 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: that would be the case. And we thank you, Lord 65 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: for your love for us. We thank you for your 66 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: presence with us today, and we pray this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
